http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0908.shtml Disibod (Disibode, Disen) of Bingen, OSB B (AC) Died c. 700. Disibod was an Irishman, perhaps a bishop, who became disillusioned by his unsuccessful attempts to reform his compatriots. He migrated to the Continent with several companions. There they founded a monastery on a hill in the Nahe Valley near Bingen, Germany, which became known as Disibodenberg or Disenberg (Mons Disibodi). There they were more successful in winning souls for Christ. The monastery later became famous as the residence of Saint Hildegard, who wrote his vita in 1170 based on a mystical revelation. The few facts in the vita are simply the traditions about him that were then current (Benedictines, Farmer, Husenbeth, Montague). In art, Saint Disibod sits reading in a cell with a rosary and cross, his episcopal insignia at his feet. There are also some pictures of Disibod with Saint Hildegard of Bingen (Roeder). He is venerated at Disenberg and Bingen (Roeder).
